Gov Mitch Daniels surrenders, turning what should have been a victory for the American private sector tax payer into a victory for foot-stomping, cowardly Democrats and their union paymasters. But no worries, because he’s still staunch staunch staunch on the spendings!
Pragmatism! Gov. Mitch Daniels signaled this afternoon that Republicans should to drop the right-to-work bill that has brought the Indiana House to a standstill for two days and imperiled other measures. Daniels told reporters this afternoon that he expects House Democrats will return to work if the bill dies. It would be unfortunate if other bills are caught up in the turmoil, he said. He will not send out state

CNS News, again: Only 39 percent of the eighth graders in Wisconsin public schools are proficient or better in mathematics, according to the U.S. Department of Education, despite the fact that Wisconsin spends more per pupil in its public schools than any other state in the Midwest.

Yes, but can the little dears carry placards with progressive messaging? Because that’s what really matters…
CNS News: The $10,791 that Wisconsin taxpayers spent per pupil in its public elementary and secondary schools in fiscal year 2008 was more than any other state in the Midwest –- yet, two-thirds of eighth graders showed at best only a “partial mastery of prerequisite knowledge and skills that are fundamental for proficient work” at that grade level.
